This recipe is one of my father-in-law's specialties. Thanksgivings aren't the same without his Angel Pecan Pie! A light, fluffy version of pecan pie. Sometimes I cheat and just use Cool Whip on the top, it is still wonderful!! Lisa this recipe is especially for you!! Enjoy!

Shauna: This sounds like something to die for! Schreiners Restaurant serves a Ritz Nut Torte that they are known for. People come from far and near for it & this sounds similar. I MUST make this soon. I am so proud of what great cooks you and Lisa have become. It keeps Jill and I on our toes to keep up with you gals!!!

Seems like a mouth-watering one! I'm actually searching for some egg recipe, found this one of yours at google blog search and I'm really glad I clicked the link! I also found Schreiners Restaurant's recipe of Ritz Nut Torte with chocolate variation at Recipe Goldmine..One of my favorite finds so far is the Angelic eggs and deviled eggs at KaTom Restaurant Equipment blog! So yummy too!
